Guiltless / Theon Greyjoy

55. Cut My Meat

Theon woke up and gently pulled away from Rieka, he untangled himself from the blanket and gently replaced Rieka's head from his chest with the pillow before moving to Robbie. THeon whispered down to him, picking him up and changing his dirty nappy. Robbie stared up at Theon, wide eyes and a silly smile. 

"Hi baby boy... I dont know that i earned the title of daddy just yet but I'm working on it." Theon whispered. "Your mama is sleeping... its going to be a crazy day... what do you say we let her sleep?" Robbie giggled up at him. 

Rieka got up and knew Jon and the armies were headed out she heard the shouts and commands drifting from the courtyard. She moved to Robbies crib but he was gone. Panic filled her until she remembered Theon had slept beside her last night. She looked to Theon bouncing Robbie in his arms. 

"Hi... I hope you dont mind." 

"NOt at all." Rieka assured kissing Robbie's head, Theon smiled back at her and she kissed his cheek too. His heart fluttered just a little bit.  "I should get ready." Rieka whispered. 

"I will just..." Theon turned to put Robbie back down but he whined pulling on Theon's shirt. Rieka was already stripping behind his back, she wore riding clothes and she never looked sexier. Theon glanced back at her as she pulled her shirt down. 

"You need to change?" Rieka questioned reaching for Robbie. "You are already ready." Rieka cooed. "But you dont get to come with... sorry baby boy." She whispered. "We are going to bring your uncle Rickon home." Theon changed quickly and Jon gave them quizical looks when they came to the courtyard... together. 

"Ready?" Rieka questioned. 

"I dont think you should come." Jon countered. 

"I want to be there, I want to see Rickon." Rieka countered. 

"If something goes wrong, I dont want to lose you, Rie." Jon countered. "Please, if something goes wrong... I want you far away from Ramsay." Rieka sighed glancing around for Sansa but she didnt see her. 

"Where is sansa?" Rieka countered. "You letting her come?"

"No, I... dont know where she is but Rieka listen to me, I will do everything I can to get rickon back but I can't be worried about you." Jon begged. "Please." 

"Okay... I will be here then." Rieka gave in as he kissed her forehead. Jon reminded her so much of their father, always looking out for her. 

Rieka waved goodbye as they set out, closing up the gates behind them. Rieka glanced to Theon and he smiled softly back at her. 

"You want to train?" Theon questioned. "I remember you used to always want to watch us train."

"Train me." Rieka agreed. "So I can properly skin Ramsay if given the chance." Theon nodded passing off a blade. 

"That was amazing!" Theon declared, catching her attention after a few swift stabs of the blade, she was learning quickly. She was going to be a little killer in no time if she wanted to. He moved to her as she smiled wide and he forgot for a moment. He forgot everything outside of that smile.  Theon pressed his lips to Rieka's and her eyes fluttered closed. " I forget your arent mine." Theon whispered pulling back but rieka grabbed his hand. "I'm sorry." Theon repeated. Rieka hesitated turning back to the training dummy, she gripped the blade tight, conflicting emotions flooding her. 

''Rie... what are we?" Theon questioned  Rieka turned to him tapping the flat edge of the blade against her jaw as she looked him over. 

"Well, then we can't be friends. So, then, what should we be? Sworn enemies? Contenders perhaps?" She pondered, Theon's smile widened. "Ohh, I know Romeo and Juliet on the opposite sides who are supposed to undo each other but team up to save Winterfell. I like that one sounds realistic." Rieka decided. "But which side did you start on?"
